A Startling Prediction.

From, the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Two hundred years ago in China there
was just such craze about natural gas as
we have in this country to-day. Gas wells
were sunk with as much vim and vlgor as
the celestiats We're capable of, but owing to
a gas explosion that killed several millions
of people and tore up and destroyed large
district of country, leaving a large inland
sea, known on the maps as Lake
Foo Chang, the boring of any more
gas wells was then and there
prohibited by law. 1t seems, accord
ing To the Chinese history, that many large
and heavy pressure gas wells We're struck,
and i'll some districts wells were sunk quite
near to each other. Gas was lighted Us soon
as struck, as is done in this country. 1t is
stated that one we'll, with it's unusual pres
sure, by induction or back draught, pulled
down into the ear tn tie burning gas Of
smaller well, resulting in a dreadful explo-
sion of q large district, destroying the in
habitants thereof Lake Foo Chang rests on
this district. The same catastrophe is immi-
rent in this country, unless the laws restrict
further developments in boring so many
wells. Should a similar explosion occur
there will be such an upheaval as will dwarf
the most terrible earthquakes ever known.
The country along the gas belt from Toledo,
through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will
he ripped up to the depth of ] 200 20 800
feet and lopped over like a pancake, eav-
ing chasm through which the waters of
Lake Eric will come howling down, filling
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and blot
ting them out forever.

DUN & co. FULL OF FEAR.
FARMERS SAID TO HAVE LOST
100000 BY DROUGHT.

An Intimation that Year of Depres-
sion is in Store for the Country-In-
flation of Prices by the Real Estate
Boom and the Magnitude of New In
debtedness bad Factors.
NEW YORK, Aug 12--R G. Dun & Co.'S
review of trade for the week says: Short
crops in 1881 proved the turning point of
business for seven years, and the drought
this year, though resulting in less injury to
crops, comes at a time when real estate
values at the West have been unusually in
flated. Heavy rains have broken the long
drought during the past week, but
only after the official bureau report had
shown how serious was the injury sustained
and the relief came too late to do good in
the extensive districts of the Northwest.
The bureau reports lose; which cannot he
repaired to a considerable part of the hay
crop, and to oats, tobacco, potatoes and
fruit, little injury to cotton and wheat
and decline of II per cent in the condl-
ton of corn
O,0OO,0 900 LOST BY FARMERS.
The work of destruction continued ten
days after the bureau reports were made be-
fore rain came, and the aggregate loss Of
the farmers must exceed $50 100000. A
difference is inevitable in purchases of
manufactured and imported goods by the
Northwest If prices had not been inflated
by the real estate boom and if new indebt-
edneSS of enormous volume had not
been created loss of even
u tenth of the value of the
farm products would make little difference,
but the wild speculation III lands and town
la L.
millions in new buildings, and the perma-
nent investment of large sums in new rail
roads and manufacturing works rendered
partial loss of the crops more important.
Happily the chief Southern crop shows
little injury as yet, though cotton declined
three points in condition in July and later
reports tell of damage by drought i'll Texas.
THE IRON OUTPUT.
The iron production increased Is, 543 tons
weekly in July, ~ coke furnaces resuming,
while nine Anthracite stopped. The weekly
output was nevertheless 10 per cent less
than May |, according to the Iron Ages
figures. Prices appear stronger, except for
steel rails, but very large imports continue.
Cotton manufacture is generally prosper
Gus, though a labor contest threatens at Fall
River. The wooden manufacture shows no
change for the better, and statistics show
decrease of about 100000 pounds in the
consumption OF wool for the past year
as compared with the preceding year. A
smaller consumption of raw silk and India
rubber also appears, but the consumption of
tea, sugar, liquors and tobacco has in
creased The late tea sales are disappoint-
ing and coffee dealers show dissatisfaction,
while the sugar trade is at a standstil.
Interior reports are less favorable as to
crop prospects, but uniformly good as to
| the volume of business.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during last week number,
for the United States, Isl, and for Canada
20, total of $50, against 1873 last week and
1874 the week previous.

UTES IN WAR PAINT.
They Defy a Sheriff and q Pitched Battle
Momentarily Expected.

iJApOSGCO'
DENVER, Col, Aug. l2.-Wild rumors
reached here this Afternoon that the White
river Utes had again taken the warpath
with Colorow at the head Of the war path
and were slaughtering settlers.
An Associated Press special from Glen
wood Springs, the nearest telegraph point to
the White River Agency, says: The last
grand jury indicted two of COlorow's bucks
for horse stealing. Three or four days ago
Sheriff Kendall, with small posse OF men,
started for the White river country TO ar
rest two bucks, who, with a number of this
band of renegade Indians, We're camped in
the vicinity of Meeker. close to the
scene of the Meeker massacre This
morning a courier from there arrived
in town with a requisition from the Mayor
Of Mceker on the Mayor of Glenwood
Springs for arms and ammunition Several
men with about forty Winchester rifles
started at once.
DEFIED BY THE CHIEF.
1.-THE courier reports that the Sheriff and
his posse went to the Indian camp and de
manded two bucks from Chief COlorow
The old renegade refused to sur
render them to the Sheriff or al
low them to be arrested, swearing
by his forefathers, that me heap big Injun,
law. D. white man no arrest lnjun.
They began firing on the SherihTs men and
the fire was returned killing one
Indian. The Indians retired to the
brush and kept up the firing shooting at
every one in sight. They are now gather
ing their whole band together, which con-
sists of fifty or sixty warriors. They have
gades, who will join them
if thaU NOT nYpVpntp1
Trouble of a serious nature is feared, as
Coorow is threatening destruction and to
go on the warpath. Sheriff Kendall is now
camped in the vicinity, awaiting reinforce
menti.
A FESTIVE BAND.
at is safe to say that unless they shake
the dust of Garfield county from their
moccasns and get back to the agency the
two bucks will be arrested Sheriff Ken
dali is brave and fearless man and an
Indian fighter since 1859. He has with him
Phil Foote and other choice spirits
who don't fear even his Satanic
majesty, and is being joined also by the
White river cowboys who have no love for
the Indians. Colorow himself is liable to
be made good Indian if he is not care
full. There are some White River Utes who
belong to the Uintah Agency in Utah,
but have persistently refused to
stay on their reservation. For
years they have been running over the
western part of the State stealing cattle
and horses, killing game and annoying the
settlers. Repeated appeals have been made
to keep these renegades on their reServa-
ton, but they have been in vain. Colorow
has bid defiance to the agency and every
one else The settlers are justly indignant,
and but little will arouse their slumbering
wrath. They are determined that the In
dians shall be arrested and made to obey
the laws
